Dunham Elementary

Dunham School District includes Dunham Charter (K-5th Grades) and Dunham Elementary (6th Grade). We are a 'California Distinguished School' located in the rural dairy lands of NW Petaluma. Established in 1870, Dunham is the only school in our small district serving 180 students in grades K-6th with one class per grade level. It is our vision to create a school where each child is known, valued and supported to reach their full academic potential. Honesty, ethical behavior, integrity, cooperation, and responsibility are valued and modeled throughout the school community. The District will ensure that adequate resources are provided for services necessary to promote success for each student. Decision-making is based on a commitment to children - our school's number one priority. Students will master skills and knowledge based upon the California Standards and curriculum frameworks. They will develop the ability to work well with others as well as the ingenuity and creativity to be problem-solvers.
